PLC Data Acquisition, Monitoring, and Operation & Maintenance System Solution for Cardboard Box Printing Machines

With the rapid advancement of technology, intelligent and automated processes have become a significant trend in industrial production.

 With the aid of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), cardboard box printing machines can achieve automated operations, bringing revolutionary changes to the cardboard box manufacturing industry. This effectively reduces labor costs, enhances production efficiency, and avoids downtime losses.

WideIOT has introduced a PLC data acquisition and remote monitoring system for cardboard box printing machines, developed based on industrial intelligent gateways.

 This system communicates with the PLC control system of the cardboard box printing machine, collecting real-time operational data from the equipment. It analyzes and processes this data to enable remote monitoring, fault early warning, remote control, and remote maintenance of the printing machine. The system boasts a high degree of intelligence and automation, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of cardboard box production.

System Advantages:

1. Data Acquisition: By communicating with the PLC, the system collects various operational parameters of the printing machine in real-time, such as speed, temperature, pressure, and tension.

    This data is then uploaded to a cloud platform or upper computer for subsequent analysis and processing.

2. Fault Alarm: Through alarm analysis of the collected data, the system can automatically identify potential anomalies and faults.

    It sends alarm information to relevant personnel via sound, light, SMS, email, etc., providing detailed information.

3. Operational Statistics: The system performs statistical analysis on the printing machine's operational data, generating various reports such as production efficiency, equipment utilization, and fault rates.

    This provides strong support for production management.

4. Production Optimization: By analyzing production data, the system can offer suggestions for optimizing production processes, enhancing production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

5. Remote Operation: Users can remotely control the printing machine or upload/download programs via smart terminals, eliminating the need to be physically present at the site and greatly improving the convenience of production management.

6. System Management: The system allows for editing and management of information related to equipment and projects, ensuring quick identification of corresponding devices and customers. Additionally, the gateway provides features such as multi-network mutual backup and discontinuous transmission resumption to protect data security and integrity.
